I’m super late on this, however, I’m never in a hurry to share bad news. Yesterday it was brought to my attention that Trevor “Kay-Tone” Caston, a member of pioneering Chicago hip-hop groupd D 2 Tha S, passed away after complications from asthma.

Kay-Tone, alongside The Legendary Traxster, formed D 2 Tha S in the 90s and rose to prominence after a beef with Treach and Naughty By Nature – and most notably the “shots fired” anthem, “Dissn’ These Fools”. Kay was truly a pioneer in Chicago hip-hop and his presence and influence are still felt today.

If you’re interested in paying your respects to Kay-Tone, you can do so at the time and date below. He will be missed.

The SoundScape Studio family offers our condolences to the Caston family. He was a good artist & hard worker. He rented my C room on Wabash for 6 months straight once to work on his craft. He will be missed.

When i was younger I was so close to Tone he was my favorite cousin grown an all. And i hate through out my teenage life i didnt see him as much, but he was a animal on the rap scene i wish i could have work with him more.
